Hearing Annalise Barton’s words, Jason Zeller was overjoyed and thanked her repeatedly. “Thank you so much, thank you!” “You’re welcome,” Annalise replied. Mina Simmons stood at the side and looked at Annalise take Old Madam Zeller’s pulse in admiration. Her mentor was amazing! She didn’t even need medical equipment to know the old madam’s condition. The old madam looked haggard, so Mina was surprised that she could still recover.
Sure enough, traditional medicine practitioners had the power to create miracles. She had to learn from her mentor. “I’ll give you the acupuncture in a while. I’ll teach you how to remove the needles and the acupuncture techniques. Remember it well,” Annalise said and looked at Mina, who seemed eager to learn. “Okay, mentor.” Mina could not contain her excitement. Her mentor was going to teach her something! She’s awesome!
Annalise said, “Mr. Zeller, I will do the acupuncture later Only, you need to be present. Everyone else needs to leave.” She needed ample lighting to carry out the acupuncture and could not have people do that while they were moving around the room, causing her to lose her concentration. “Okay, okay.” Jason was very cooperative. With his trust in Annalise’s medical skills, he would agree even if Annalise called him to leave. He was naturally more than happy that Annalise let him watch from inside.
Annalise had asked the Zeller family to prepare the moxibustion machine and other items. She moved the moxibustion machine over and told Mina, “There is a saying passed down from generations of traditional medicine practitioners: if the medicine is not good enough, or the needle cannot cure the illness, then moxibustion is needed. Moxibustion has the effect of expelling cold, removing wetness, warming the meridians, regulating the balance of one’s body, and healing bruises. Moxibustion can be very useful for rheumatism diseases like what Madam Zeller has.” Moxibustion and acupuncture could be done at the same time. “The principle of moxibustion and acupuncture is the same. Acupuncture is more intricate. I’ll tell you in detail later.” “Alright, mentor.” Mina’s eyes lit up. She was elated that she could now learn from her mentor officially. Annalise then said to Jason, “Mr. Zeller, you can tell them to leave now.”
“Okay.” Jason immediately ordered, “Everyone, leave.” Then Jimmy Zeller, his wife Nancy Zeller, and Jasper Zeller left the room. When Nancy went out, she glanced at Old Madam Zeller’s personal servant. The servant returned her a gaze that said she understood. The servant was in her fifties and had taken care of Old Madam Zeller for more than 20 years. Annalise looked at the servant. There was someone else in the room besides Jason.
Jason explained, “This is my mother’s personal servant who has taken care of my mother. Don’t worry. She won’t affect you. She wants to learn moxibustion techniques so that she can help my mother. I’ll send her out if you think it’s not convenient.” “It doesn’t matter,” Annalise said. She had never had the habit of hiding her medical skills. In the past, when she was overseas, people observed every surgery. As long as it did not affect her treatment, she was willing to let everyone observe and learn.
She thought the same for traditional medicine too. She wished that everyone could learn traditional medicine and that they could pass on Chanaea’s ancient inheritance. “Okay.” Jason was glad when he heard that the servant could stay. If the servant learned the techniques, they could treat Old Madam Zeller, and she could recover quicker. Most of the people had gone out, including Julian Parks. Beside the old madam lying on the bed, only Annalise, Jason, Mina, and the old madam’s servant were left in the ward.
